How Strands works
Strands is a themed word search played on a six-by-eight letter grid. Theme words can bend in any direction, and the spangram is a word or short phrase that describes the theme and spans two opposite edges. Three unrelated words can unlock a hint that highlights letters in a theme word. These are general game mechanics, not details unique to game #345. The New York Times Strands overview describes the format.
